Alan Smith thanks Alan. We were trying to avoid unnecessary step.

I'm not smart enough to know all the shortcuts, for me the road you know is usually quickest.

ABSTRACT

Computational assessment of the discrete breathers (also known as intrinsic localised modes) is performed in
nickel and palladium hydrides with an even stoichiometry by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The
breathers consisting of hydrogen and metallic atoms were excited following the experience obtained earlier by
modelling the breathers in pure metallic systems. Stable breathers were only found in the nickel hydride system
and only for the hydrogen atoms oscillating along 〈100〉 and 〈111〉 polarization axes. At this, two types of the
stable breathers involving single oscillating hydrogen and a pair of hydrogen atoms beating in antiphase mode
were discovered. Analysis of the breather characteristics reveals that its frequency is located in the phonon gap
or lying in the optical phonon band of phonon spectrum near the upper boundary. Analysis of the movement of
atoms constituting the breather was performed to understand the mechanism that enables the breather stabilization and long-term oscillation without dissipation its energy to the surrounding atoms. It has been demonstrated that, while in palladium hydride, the dissipation of the intrinsic breather energy due to hydrogen-hydrogen attractive interaction occurs, the stable oscillation in the nickel hydride system is ensured by the
negligibly weak hydrogen-hydrogen interaction acting within a distance of the breather oscillation amplitude.
Thus, our analysis provides an explanation for the existence of the long-living stable breathers in metallic hydride systems. Finally, the high energy oscillating states of hydrogen atoms have been observed for the NiH and
PdH lattices at finite temperatures which can be interpreted as a fingerprint of the finite-temperature analogues
of the discrete breathers.

Nice job!

Quote from JedRothwell

That's what I meant. Propane gas. Used for space heating, cooking, and so on. Not methane.

Depends on where you are. I have recently been discussing a very large factory project in Myanmar, where there is scant infrastructure, that will be powered by a mix of solar and road-tanker delivered pressurised methane.

There are a lot of factors rather than just energy output. Here are a few in no particular order..

Practicality of preparation and gas/electrolytic loading , ease of triggering, cost, toxicity, availability, durability in service, ease of containment (molten lithium for example is an escaper), thermal conductivity in bulk.

There may be m,ore.

I did not say I take all the credit for the funding Jed, just some of it. And I have no wish to do any name-dropping myself, Akito Takahashi and co did the legwork for sure.

Quote from JedRothwell

I am inclined to think you are exaggerating your role and the extent of your connections.

Think what you will.no skin off my nose. But you would be very wrong.

Will we see you at Asissi (ICCF) in September this year?

It would surprise you Jed to know how well-connected I am in the LDP. Let's leave it at that.

I very much doubt you cornered any Japanese minister,

If you are calling me a liar, I expect you to back down on that.

And there, I say Robert Godes is not a scammer, as seven of twenty insinuates. He has engineered reactor cores that have been evaluated by top scientists in the field. He has issued two public reports on the findings. They engineered reactor cores to give the same results when swapped out of calorimeters.

The best way to get criticised in the LENR field is to get some interesting results.

I see (in the court docket clip above) the mention of the Japanese government LENR program. Which Jed claimed never existed. I'm going to take a little credit for backing the Energy minister into a corner at a reception and explaining to him (at length) why Japan really needed to be putting some serious money into LENR research, he pledged $20M on the spot - at the time I just thought he wanted to get me off his case, perhaps he did - but 6 months later they set up Clean Planet as a quasi-private company, that led to the Tohaku et al collaboration.

Here is a more recent paper.

Why would this be a waste of pixels?

See above. Always a mistake to feed an obsession, since it can never be satisfied.

I would remind you that Francesco CELANI is a forum member, and may be minded to put you right. Or maybe not, since he might regard it as a waste of pixels.

“Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: (1) It's completely impossible. (2) It's possible, but it's not worth doing. (3) I said it was a good idea all along.
